Default Help me pick a helmet

Gambler


Kenny Roberts Replica


I've pretty much narrowed it down to these two. Any other suggestions would be nice but I want to stick with Suomy.

Thanks,
Frankie

The gambler looks cool...

But don't these things fade with time? Kinda crappy for a high dollar helmet....

If I had to pick between those two I would go with the gambler but perosnally I'm not a big fan of either of them.

Do you know that is for a CAR and not a bike. They are rated for different kind of impacts. You dont want to go down with this helmet. Especially the way you ride. Your ride aggressively and you most likely will go down at a high rate of speed. That helmet wont help you!

Go with the Gabler. Thats just what I like out of those two.

Have you ever looked at the HJC Carbon Fiber helmet? I love mine.

WOW I never heard of them making street/bike helmets. I just think that the wind at 130mph would be a problem with the flat front.
